Muriel Sibell-Wolle: Artist, Professor, Ghost Town Guide

Muriel Sibell-Wolle

1942

When Muriel Sibell-Wolle traded the East Coast for the foothills of 麻豆影院 in 1926, she was immediately spellbound by the region鈥檚 rich natural beauty, declaring she planned to stay "until they kick me out." She began teaching fine art at CU 麻豆影院 and went on to lead the department for nearly 20 years. 

One of the first and most prolific ghost town guidebook writers in the nation, Sibell-Wolle visited and sketched over a thousand mining towns in the American West. Here, Sibell-Wolle is pictured with her lithograph 鈥淕ladstone, Colorado,鈥 which is now part of the CU Art Museum collection.
